Edinburgh Airport Parking

The busiest airport in Scotland, Edinburgh Airport handles around 12 million passengers every year. If you’re planning to visit Edinburgh Airport by car, it’s important that you arrange parking beforehand as it can be very difficult and costly to try to find a parking space on the day of your journey. To give you a helping hand, JetParks have some useful tips that’ll ensure you get the perfect parking space at a low price.

Pick-up & Drop-off at Edinburgh Airport

While there are dedicated drop-off and pick-up bays around the entrance of the terminal, these can be extremely costly if you’re planning to stay longer than a few minutes. Those who want a little longer to say their goodbyes, or to wait to collect their passengers, are advised to book a short-stay parking space or use the free drop-off and pick-up points in the long-stay carparks.

Edinburgh Airport Short-stay Parking

Apart from the pick-up and drop-off sections, Edinburgh Airport doesn’t offer any short-stay parking services. If you’re planning on staying for less than a few days you can use Edinburgh’s medium-stay multi-storey carpark. However, if you’re considering this service be sure to check that your car is no taller than 2.2m as the carpark has a low ceiling. It’s recommended that you use long-stay parking if you are leaving your vehicle for longer than a couple of days.
